(HS Antony 058831 2022) Social Anxiety and Perfectionism: Clinical Tools to Let Go of Unrealistic Standards

Course overview

Your clients with perfectionism are in a no-win situation, and it can feel like you're stuck there with them. When perfectionism exacerbates social anxiety, your clients struggle to stand up for themselves - to assert their needs in high-stakes situations - and seek assistance from others. Their lives are one missed opportunity after another. When your clients fail to meet their own unachievable standards, they maintain that being hard on themselves is necessary for success - despite your attempts to soften their self-criticism and educate them on how it impairs performance. When you highlight their victories, they reset the bar and insist that the standards weren't demanding enough in the first place. The toolbox for social anxiety treatment that you already have is incomplete if it doesn't have strategies to shift perfectionism. Watch distinguished expert Dr. Martin M. Antony for this unique one-day training that provides practical, step-by-step, evidence-based strategies for helping clients overcome perfectionism-driven social anxiety. You will learn to: Deliver concrete cognitive strategies tailored to create positive change for clients who struggle with unreasonable social standards Overcome common roadblocks to exposure therapy and utilize exposure exercises to increase social interaction Connect clients with their values as a source of motivation for shifting both their perfectionistic mindset and their social behaviors
